ed for the erection of fine cottage
this winter. OF his death the Erie, Pa,

1.-THE Handwriting on the WALL"

Rev. w. s. Armstead. formerly pastor
of the Methodist Church in this city and
late principal of the public school of
Palatka, is in Georgia preaching and
lecturing. OF his lecture the Wrights-
vile (Ga.) Headlight has this to say,
which will no doubt prove interesting to
his friends in this section:
On Saturday, the 18th inst, at early
candle light. the Rev. w. S. Armstead
will deliver a lecture in the court house
at Wrightsville, johnson County, Ga. .
ON the great question of the day: THE
Future of the Blacks in this Country.
A brief of Mr.. A. s position is their re-
moval at an early day, or their exter-
mination. Startling developments will
be made, and weighty reasons given,
showing the imperiOus necessity
for this removal of the blacks, if the
people of this country would avoid the
fearful tragedy of discriminating this I'M
fortunate race The lecturer will show
further that weighty considerations of "A
financial, moral and religious nature to
the whites, demand the removal. if they
would take front rank among the most
advanced and enterprising of the nations,
and maintain that high moral status and
religious prestige that have distinguish
ed them in the past. The North will
then be shown to- be more profoundly in
terested, if possible, in the removal of
the blacks than the South, and must,
from regard to life and property, con-
tribute her millions to this exodus.
All are invited to attend. Mr.. A. is
delivering series of services in our
town his only business in our midst be-
ing the promotion of the cause of r-lig
ion. Although very poor man he al
lows no one to pay him a single cent for
preaching.
The lecture is delivered for the pur-
pose of raising the means to defray his
travelling and other expenses. No
charge will be made. After the lecture
is delivered. a collection will be taken
up, when all present will be requested to
contribute some amount, be it ever SO
small. We bespeak for Mr.. A. large
audience. We urge large turn out"
of our people, under the conviction that
all who attend will not only be gratified
but amply repaid for the small amount
contributed. Come one, come all

The Profits of Base Ball.


Many of the public are not aware how
great are the profits made from direct
ing the game of base ball as a business
in some of the cities of the country. For
the amount of capital invested, there i
probably nothing like il in the form of
amusement. The expenses of base ball
are. first, in hiring and fitting up the
grounds on which it is played: next in the
salaries paid the players: third, in the
travelling expenses of the clubs. None
OF these require much preliminary out
lay. There must be a guaranty as re-
CARDS some of them, but the game greatly
